pouchitis or stomach bug

So I have had the pouch for 7 years now.  I have had pouchitis once.  It was severe cramping, diarrhea, couldn't fully go.  Went to bathroom at least once every hour.  I thought I have had the stomach bug the past few days.  Its been loose stools or diarrhea.  However, this has been ongoing for about 5 days now and not improving.  I am also having more urgency to go and burning sensation in the pouch.  Going about 10 X per day now compared to regularly of 6-8 X.  I do have a scheduled scope for this Friday as I have FAP and I have to have a routine one day every few years.  I am beginning to think this is pouchitis but I'm not sure as it is not presenting the same way as when I got it a few years ago.  Should I wait to get scoped? I'd hate feeling this way for three more days if it is pouchitis and have it get worse.  Or should I begin doing Cypro…

 

Any comments would be helpful.

 

Thanks
